What an assessment for MEM09156 must cover
38 assessable components: 4 elements (15 performance criteria), 10 performance evidence and 13 knowledge evidence requirements. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.
Elements & performance criteria
1 Determine job requirements
- 1.1Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs)
- 1.2Comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times
- 1.3Identify job requirements from specifications
2 Identify model parameters
- 2.1Investigate applications for modelling in mechatronics from job requirements
- 2.2Determine the virtual parameters, form, function and features
- 2.3Determine the required model generation processes, and required graphics generation and post-processing
- 2.4Identify licensed technical and professional assistance for advice required
3 Develop model
- 3.1Generate initial graphical model using identified processes
- 3.2Consult with model stakeholders and make agreed adjustments
- 3.3Prepare and trial model for intended purpose
- 3.4Evaluate model against design criteria in consultation with stakeholders and make agreed adjustments
- 3.5Engage appropriate licensed technical and professional assistance for advice
4 Finalise model
- 4.1Prepare final model as agreed
- 4.2Report and demonstrate results
- 4.3Provide documentation, instructions, models and files, and obtain sign-off in accordance with SOPs
Performance evidence
- following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices
- producing mechatronic-related models including virtual computer-generated solid models and physical models developed from the virtual model data, that are consistent with design information and relevant standards and conventions on at least two occasions
- applying modelling techniques
- communicating, participating and negotiating with stakeholders, appropriate licensed technicians and professionals
- reviewing and comparing available software, features, functions and context of mechatronic modelling
- creating and manipulating 3D entities using library files and adaptations and accessing supplier catalogues and data bases on at least two occasions
- creating dimensioned orthographic projections from models on at least two occasions
- extracting dimensional properties from model
- post-processing model for analysis or physical modelling
- commissioning, gaining approval, completing work, documenting, reporting and obtaining sign-off
Knowledge evidence
- safe work practices and procedures
- advantages and disadvantages of computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) using modelling compared to traditional manufacturing methods
- sustainability implications to be taken into account when modelling
- methods used to produce models of: mechanical products, maintenance products, manufactured engineering products, plant, systems
- mechatronic components, assemblies and layouts suitable for modelling
- modelling and related software functions and features
- model creation techniques
- modelling processes including computer modelling and post-processing
- virtual modelling options
- stakeholders in the model creation
- job requirements that may create a need for licensed technical and professional services
- comparisons of modelling to traditional representation methods including: pen and pencil graphics compared to wire frame, surface and solid models; computer animations compared to transparent overlay mobiles to test clearances and motions; solid models compared to isometric projections; computer library files compared to the use of reference charts and catalogue information

Questions about assessing MEM09156
What does an assessment tool for MEM09156 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM09156 needs to address all 38 unit components: 4 elements with 15 performance criteria, 10 performance evidence requirements, 13 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.
How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for MEM09156?
Auditori pulls the current release of MEM09156 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.
Is the first assessment tool really free?
Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for MEM09156 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing MEM09156 assessment instead of generating a new one?
Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of MEM09156, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
